  • Lead regular team meetings and facilitate effective communication within the department and across the organization, ensuring timely dissemination of information.
  • Oversee the daily operations of the team and ensure effective communication.
  • Contribute to both uni-disciplinary and multidisciplinary clinical teams by discussing input around client needs to ensure a well-coordinated care plan.
